For a system like Oxygen (and perhaps others) this wouldn't work, since
they use add-on packages which may or may not exist.  For me to expand
ALL the sources would take a pretty good sized disk :)

However, for a boot... but...

As for me, I removed the need for glibc (and sed) until AFTER packages
are loaded - which means that glibc could be stored as a package - or
even, on the network somewhere.  I made busybox statically linked, as
well as fget (for network loading) - and used the shell's variable
substitution instead of sed.
